This is a list of special architectural attractions open to the public - places you might want to go to purely for their archiectural content. They are individual buildings of significant interest which you can enter and enjoy. We are not, however, attempting a comprehensive tourist guide and galleries and the like (with serious architectural content) will be added as a second level of information.

The UK is listed first.

Adolf Loos /> Villa Muller , 1929-1930
Nad hradním vodojemem 14, Praha In the house Loos preserved a 'desire for habitability' in terms not of function but of the shape of the interior space. The external symmetry contains a complex internal scheme of the private, single-family house. There is not only a separation between levels which corresponds to day and night but also a complex spatial sequence which guides movement from the outside to the inside, complemented by a scenic sequence which interpenetrates separate spaces. A narrow entrance leads to a short spiral staircase which suddenly reveals a view of the living room, with a view of the dining room seen eight steps higher. If the essence of Loos' genuine expression of 'spatial thinking' amounts to 'a chess game in space', then the play of levels in the Muller House allows us to imagine a game in which we play with the rules themselves, so that the rules of chess become the pawns of the game."
